New Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps For L.A. Released Two Months After Wildfires


Two months after the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history, Cal Fire has released updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps for the county.

“These changes may influence building and vegetation management requirements for properties located within newly classified fire hazard zones,” according to LACFD. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors must act within 120 days to adopt the maps, which are used to guide land-use decisions and building standards. The county is expected to schedule public hearings for people to comment on the proposed maps, but specific dates have not yet been determined.
